SUPER SKIMMER ALL THE WAY!

Has anyone tried the prizm?

I have not used the prizm but I have a css125 and it works great for what it cost.

i had the prizm and had red algae all over switched to the coralife superskimmer 65 and all of it disapeered within days. The looks of the prizm are a bit nicer if you dont have a hood and its out side. but the efficiency of the css is unbeatable.

I have used both. The superskimmer is much much better.

Avoid the Prizm. I have had both and the Super Skimmer is by far the best way to go.

I have no experience with the others, but I've been less then happy with the prizm. The biggest problem I have is that I either set it a little low and it skims almost nothing, or I turn it up a little and it creates a very wet skimmate, tries to overflow the cup, and sends microbubbles into the tank. After 6 months I've given up on trying to find the sweet spot and have just left it low. Anyway, that's my experience. Anyone with an idea on how to fix these problems, let me know.

The Prizm is close to useless in my experience. What size tank?

 

[chadfarmer]

super skimmer = needle wheel is the key

I used a Prizm on my 40 gal, when they First came out - I didn't have any problems with it, now I hear they have made a few improvements...
Nice for small tanks that don't have a sump...
